There is hope, among the angry majority of fans who want Manny Pacquiao to win, that he\u2019ll somehow be quicker and stronger and more precise than ever and force heretofore unflappable Floyd Mayweather into a brawl and punish the bejeweled king they\u2019ve long wanted to see dethroned. Don\u2019t wager heavily on that sequence. Floyd is larger, stronger, quicker, faster, more adaptable and elusive than Manny, who\u2019d have a slightly better chance if both were much younger junior welterweights. Instead, they\u2019re aging welterweights, but no one need yearn for what might have been. The result would\u2019ve been the same at any juncture. Manny won\u2019t hit Floyd often, and Floyd will hit him frequently, or at least more often, and win a unanimous decision. Since nothing is certain in the ring, let\u2019s say there\u2019s a seventy percent chance of Floyd earning a decision, and ten percent that Manny will eat a Floyd counter right, as he did in his fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, and twenty that Manny could win a decision. There\u2019s no realistic chance he\u2019ll knock out Floyd. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
